Once more - it is the distro I was searching for years - it is wonderful, it works very well

Still thinking, that you loose a lot, when you use jvw as the default dektop - fluxbox it is much more attractive, goes into the aesthetical direction of a mac , is not a clone of an outdated Windows - and generally I think the invention of desktop icons was the aesthical death of the desktop.I am really happy, because VL-Light is now the only configured linuxdistro, that does not throw stupid icons on my desktop.

The usability can be reached with other things - so I was working a bit to improve the menue of fluxbox - just a suggestion.

then there are some locale problems, when you just do, what is said in the wiki - changing the language - but this is a problem of the wiki - I will try this out next week

This was a full download - I had a minimal install with fluxbox as only wm and there I could not startx out of the box, then vasmCC was not working, because of missing libraries, a strange and different fluxbox menue - but this was with beta2 - I will also look at this that next week

Font still leaves something to be desired. Some adjacent letters appear to be touching. The caps are almost twice as tall as small case, where I expect the small case should be around 3/5 or 2/3 the height of caps.

The fonts in xterm and rxvt are inferior, especially xterm. In xterm, all horizontal components of a letter are brighter white, bold, particularly so for e, A, H, 7, and F. Curiously, the number 5 has no top horizontal line. In xterm the font is very hard to read.

xterm and rxvt have no scroll bars.

Something is wrong with my onboard video, S3 ProSavage8. There are several intermittent spurious horizontal streak lines when the screen is white or light. As this is a recently acquired P4 2.0 GHz system, I will have to run another live CD to see if the onboard vid is kaput.

I'm hearing sound, but there is no speaker icon on panel or systray.

I like the desktop clock, but you really should check the aesthetics of Austrumi in this regard. Beautiful round clock would save a little space--round v. square.

The font of the Forum home page is so small, I'm inclined to think my video is not correctly detected/configured. Getting some scroll lag too, is this indicative of incorrect video?

I get a menu if I left click or right click the Desktop empty space. I think the menu should be called by right click only. I made a Desktop folder named LinuxOS for downloading ISOs and I cannot drag this folder to another location, possibly because of left and right click behavior.

I haven't mentioned this before about Fluxbox, but I do not use Apple products, and I am unimpressed with the OS X/Dreamlinux effects of icons. It seems kinda out of place to be used with Fluxbox. BTW, my experience of the latest DreamLinux was dismal.EDIT: re: effects: I don't wanna be a sourpuss, so I guess a little "flair" is okay.

If VL is gonna offer a live CD, this might be the version to run as a live CD. I mean, what can you really do with a live CD? It may as well be trim like VL-Light. Does VL-Light have comparable abilities to do stuff like read and write NTFS? What can VL-Std do that VL-Light can't do?

Frequently, when I go to a youtube video, I get an error from Adobe Flash Player that it has stopped the playback due to some problem, but the video plays after I close the error message.

Excellent idea! Say, try this command: xine dvd:/ or, for full-screen deinterlaced: dvd -D -f -g dvd:/ How does that work for you?

The vl-hot launchers are not quite so clear cut, as they are dynamically created and deleted. Will look into floppy mounting (do anyone besides geeks use floppies for anything but boot devices any more?).

The font in xterm and rxvt are inferior, especially xterm. In xterm, all horizontal components of a letter are brighter white, bold, particularly so for e, A, H, 7, and F. Curiously, the number 5 has no top horizontal line. In xterm the font is very hard to read.

Fixed for next release.

You can scroll by holding down the shift key, then using PgUp/PgDn. Maybe we should have scroll bar in one or the other, covering both bases?

hmmm, another daemon. I am sure is lighter than hal, but I love the udev based vl-hot, which make use of the udev daemon without adding one. Even when we could work on different interfaces for different desktop environments I dont think it should be replaced.

Indeed, it is not hal, but it is a daemon. Adding different ways to notify beside the desktop icon and the sound it is a good idea. I am working in that for the window manager I use. Given that light will ship fluxbox as a main wm, may be is good idea to work on it. May be with the tray or something, I have used fluxbox only a few times.

But it is a deamon, that starts only, when I want and it does only things I want and does not eat resources in the background - I just remember the days, when hal crossed my ways in Ubuntu - it was the last time I used Ubuntu
